Located on the famous Pinellas Trail, this is a pleasant place to have a great picnic lunch. Open only from 11:am to 6:00 pm on Friday and Saturday, a trip here is worth it. You can watch the meat smoking out back. Only a walk-up order window, and pick-up window, you may take out or dine in style on picnic tables under the Shady Oaks.

That was some of the most delicious dark meat chicken I’ve had in a long time. Skin was well seasoned and crispy, and the meat so tender. I should have taken a photo but I devoured it too fast 😂 the homemade sauce is delicious too but it wasn’t a requirement to make this meal delicious. An update from recent reviews: they do accept card now, but with cash there’s a 4% discount. Also some updated menu options.

Super legit, family run BBQ joint just outside of town. Brisket and burnt ends were bursting with smoke flavor, if a touch on the dry side. Sides were all excellent, especially the honey baked beans. Reasonably prices. Pull up a picnic table and have a chat with some of the friendliest locals in Dunedin.

Eli's is only open Friday and Saturday so you plan accordingly. Great staff, super friendly and the food is delicious. I had the brisket sandwich and my wife had the chicken sandwich. We shared the baked beans. This is a must lunch stop while in Dunedin!!!!

Amazing food! Truly some awesome family-owned, mom n' pop quality! Everyone was super friendly, and even though they were running low on bread for sandwiches, they were transparent about it beforehand, and the quality of the brisket made it unforgettable!
